WRITE A REVIEWFrequently Asked Questions
Why does my phone say 02 8348 3098 is fraud?

Should I answer a call from 02 8348 3098 if my phone flags it as fraud?
No. If your phone identifies 0283483098 as fraud, do not answer the call. Block the number immediately in your phone's settings. All three community reports indicate this number triggered fraud alerts without any contributor engaging with the caller.
What is AAPT Limited and why is 02 8348 3098 registered to them?
AAPT Limited is a telecommunications provider in Australia. The fact that 0283483098 is allocated to AAPT does not mean AAPT made the call-the number may be spoofed or used by scammers.

Yes. On most Australian phones, you can block 0283483098 in your contacts or call settings. Add the number to your blocked list, and calls from 02 8348 3098 will go straight to voicemail. If you continue receiving calls despite blocking, contact your phone provider or report to ACMA.
Why did three contributors report 02 8348 3098 on the same day?
The three reports all arrived on 11-12 January 2026 within 24 hours, suggesting this number was part of an active fraud campaign. Scammers often make many calls in short bursts. The automatic fraud detection on all three phones flagged 0283483098 before any contributor answered.
